TV show The Simpsons has “done the nuclear industry a big disservice”,
according to the boss of Sizewell C. Julia Pyke is joint managing director
of the two-reactor nuclear power station being built on the east Suffolk
coastline which is expected to power as many as six million homes. Due to
start operating in the mid to late-2030s, Sizewell C has proved
controversial, with some residents – including those in nearby Leiston
– strongly opposed to the project. But Ms Pyke believes some people’s
negative perceptions of nuclear energy stem from the hazardous way in which
it has been portrayed in the long-running animated programme.
